The architecture of recent brachiopod shells: diversity of biocrystal and biopolymer assemblages in rhynchonellide, terebratulide, thecideide and craniide shells

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Maria Simonet Roda from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge have published the paper: The architecture of Recent brachiopod shells: diversity of biocrystal and biopolymer assemblages in rhynchonellide, terebratulide, thecideide and craniide shells, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show variation in composite hard tissue organization for taxa with different lifestyles visualize nanometer-scale calcite assemblies for rhynchonellide and terebratulide fibers highlight thecideide shell microstructure texture and chemistry characteristics and discuss the feasibility to use thecideide shells as archives of proxies . . .
